No. Sorry. If you want to leave a quick note on my profile talk, I can always pull it down when I've read it. I'll be sure to swing by tomorrow to check.
I'd have to add, "You don't have Clancy Brown!"
This guy is funny, accent no problem. But I probably like him because he's just saying what I've been saying ever since I heard this thing was going to happen. There is no original thinking anymore, No need to do anything more with this one, his conclusions are probably spot on.
It was announced yesterday that Stan Kirsch, who played Richie Ryan, has passed away.
Details are thin, but unnecessary, the point is, one of the Highlander family had left us, and we are the poorer for it.
We offer this community's sincere condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.
Well, there's always the maternal side where someone not of the name marries in, but in this case it's probably because he's another foundling of no family. Worse, the name Kell might be Irish, derived from the monastary of the name, but it's probably Estonian. The original script had him named Kase, but they ultimately decided that was too close to the last antagonist, Kane. They really do seem to have a K fetish. Plus since it's never really explained, it's barely peripheral if at all true.
In the original film Connor was the winner of the prize. Period. Connor at the very least indicates as much upon beating the Kurgan. For the first movie, there was no Duncan, no alternate plot lines, so the original movie functions on the assumption that Connor really was the last immortal on Earth after he killed the Kurgan and really did win the prize. The lure of franchise money, however, led later to weird convolutions including fan theories that the winning of the prize shattered reality as known and spun off multiple realities such as the tv series timeline.
I actaully favor separate timelines, the origininal movie being the stand alone, however, if you theorize that there was never just going to be one gathering, that there have, if fact, been many over the centuries - perhaps one every couple thousand years or so, then you might begin to be able to build a single time line. Not every immortal attends gatherings, and resists the call, new immortals are always being created even during a gathering as seen in the series, therefore, a future gathering would be the more logical endgame for a noob than the one depicted as occuring in the first season of the series. A cyclical timeline would go a long way to resoving your issues, don't you think?
Not a big fan of a reboot in the first place, especially considering what a hot mess every movie after the original turned out to be.
The short answer is because anyone can edit, and sometimes stuff slips by. According to his Watcher file, he was born about 1150 in Cahokia, which is now Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site which is located across the Mississippi River from modern St Louis MO, (https://www.livescience.com/22737-cahokia.html). The confusion proabably arises because his is a Mississipian Culture.
Sorry, but the series is considered canon too, like it or not, even if it can make wonky the movie continuity.
Okay, this is a last call for input, and then in the new month I'll be re-editing the Rules page and includin what I'm sure we all fervently hope to be the difinitive answers.
Editor, thats what I do. Gotta get them li'l commas doing their jobs.
Make sure you give us your review of the HWW when you get back.
Despite the number of hats I wear I'm just a solo. Would love to talk to F Braun, or just watch him and De Longis spar.
Recently there has been a question about what should be included in the list of rules Immortals adhere to. It has long been accepted that the list consisted of both hard and fast rules such as no fighting on holy ground, and slightly (and only slightly) more flexible guidelines about not making your fights public. There is a little leeway on that one, since Immortals do sometimes let mortals into their lives.
The rules are:
No Immortal can fight on Holy Ground, no matter who regards it as Holy Immortal
Combat is one on one — no outside interference, no two on one
Mortals must not learn about Immortals — if you're killed, you move on/don't make a spectacle of yourself
No Immortal can have natural children
In the end, there can be only one — the last one will receive all the power of all the Immortals who ever lived
The rule in contention is to keep one's fights secret, which is the logical offshoot of not letting mortals learn of the existence of Immortals. The contributor who claims this does not apply, seems only to base his view on the original movie and nothing else. In the original movie, there is no backstory, no other immortals to worry about, if the Kurgan gets spotted, well, he's pretty sure he will be ruling the world pretty soon, so he doesn't much care. In the series, however, it's pointed out on several occasions that letting mortals in on the Immortal secret would be a bad thing. The episodes, Finale and Black Tower spring to mind. The implication has always been that Immortals keep it to themselves, and that means fights will not be staged as a cage match for all to see.
If you have something you'd like to add, please do. Would like to see a general consensus on what the rules should be before a final ruling as to the list included in the article.
By thesame token, much as new articles are appreciated, creating a new page then listing stats only is just making work for someone else to follow up. Even the briefest stub is preferable to a blank page.
In my considered opinion, there isn't much point making links for every tiny thing or every extremely minor character in an article if they don't actually connect to anything. If you aren't willing to take the time to create the page, I see no reason to make an orphan link that some one else than has to deal with. All for being a comprehensive resource, but dead links do nothing for us. If you have a counter argument, feel free, but I see this wiki as a slow and steady place, everything will get done in its own time, and there is no real need to go dropping red flags everywhere.
Absolutely not. An historian like Don? Can you imagine what he might have done with a font of history right there in front of him. Christine thought she saw too little of him when he thought Adam was just a clever grad student. The woman would never have seen him if he could sit at THE Methos' knees and have the history of the world dropped into his lap. Nope, Don liked Adam because Adam liked the history, the research, the chase, just as he did, and he was happy to encourage such a promising student. There was no way he knew the end of the chase was sitting in the next chair.
For some people, especially old school guys, their word is cast iron, they give it,they keep it. You don't have to understand the mind set, just that it's there. I thought the whole episode was one of the weaker ones, didn't care for it overall.
